How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewing my application (most important!) and reading questions online from previous interviews.

What impressed you negatively?

The cold weather! We had an outdoor walking tour of the campus and it was 4 degrees outside and windy.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Tufts doesn't track AT ALL. This leaves less opportunity for electives as an upperclassman.

What are your general comments?

My interview was a better experience than I could have ever imagined. The admissions crew made me feel so comfortable and the interviewers were really casual and relaxed. It was much more of a conversation about my application than a question and answer session.
